This has been a U19CWC final to savor. Well played to both teams for putting on a spectacle. Some of the bowling today was so intense and mature. Congrats to @BCBtigers on their first World Cup. Well deserved.

From 85/5 to a win! Emon's knock despite injury and Akbar keeping his head under pressure won Bangladesh the game. #TeamIndia mustn't lose heart though! Yashasvi's temperament & Ravi's googlies are huge takewayas!

Congrats Bangladesh on your maiden title! #INDvBAN

The young tigers have done it! They have clinched the title of U-19 world champion for the first time in the history of Bangladesh cricket by beating the young blues by 3 wickets. #SAH75 #U19CWC #ICC https://t.co/GjQXJICOLc
